Ultimately, Heresy is to live a false spiritual life. One of the main things about the modern heretics, including those within our Orthodox Church, is the lack of inner life and the concentration on external worship and deriving "spiritual experiences" from the material and sensory and emotional worlds alone. Its sad the way the protestants and Catholics and some others get so caught up in these things, music, instruments, dancing clappping, yelling and now movies. They anticipate and wallow in these emotional and material jolts that seem to generate some kind of zealos feeling or deep affectation in the confused and scattered energies of thier inner selves that have not known, or have not recognised the peace of Christ, that is not given as the world gives. The best thing the Orthodox could do is to not see in this movie in thier thpousands and millions, simply because they do not need to. It may bring people to Christ, that is up to God, he uses all sorts of strange stategies to wake us up, he used some wierd ones with me! But what does it say to my protestant or Catholic friends that I am niether for nor against this film, but simply dont need it?
